hands down
i'm too proud for love
but with eyes shut
it's you i'm thinking of
but how we move from A to B?
it can't be up to me
'cause you don't know
eye to eye
thigh to thigh
i let go

i think i'm..

a little bit, a little bit
a little bit in love with you
but only if you're
a little but, a little bit, a little bit
in lo-lo-lo-lo-love with me
oh

ooo-ooo...

and for you i keep my legs apart
and forget about my tainted heart
and i will never ever be the first
to say it
but still I,
yes you know I..I..I..
i would do it,
push a button
pull a trigger,
climb a mountain
jump off a cliff,
'cause you know baby
i love you love you a little bit
i would do it, i would say it
i would mean it, we could do it
it was you and i and if only i..

i think i'm
a little bit, a little bit
a little bit in love with you
but only if you're
a little but, a little bit, little bit
in lo-lo-lo-lo-love with me

come here, stay with me
stroke me by the hair
'cause i would give anything, anything
to have you as my man (2X)

a little bit, a little bit
a little bit in love with you
but only if you're
a little but, a little bit, little bit
in lo-lo-lo-lo-love with me

There's a storm across the valley clouds are rollin' in
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders.
There's a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away
the whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder.

He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky
and ten days on the road are barely gone.
There's a fire softly burning; supper's on the stove
but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm.

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again

After all the news to tell him: how's you spend your time?
And what's the latest thing the neighbors say
and your mother called last friday; "Sunshine" made her cry
and you felt the baby move just yesterday.

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again

And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
and feel your fingers feather soft up-on me
the kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
the happiness that livin' with you brings me.

It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
it's the little things that make a house a home.
Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove.
And the light in your eyes that makes me warm

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again

She's a real left-winger 'cause she been down south
And held peasants in her arms, she said
"I could tell you stories that could make you cry. What about you?"
I said, "Me too. I could tell you a story that would make you cry."
And she sighed, "Ahh."

I said, "I want to be a singer like Lou Reed."
"I like Lou Reed," she said, sticking her tongue in my ear.
"Let's go, let's sit, let's talk, politics goes so good with beer.
"And while we're at it, baby, why don't you tell me one of your
biggest fears?"
I said, "Losing my penis to a whore with disease."
"Just kidding," I said. "Losing my life to a whore with disease."
She said, "Excuse me, please?"
I said, "Losing my life to a horrible disease."
She said, "Please."
Well, I'm a humble guy with healthy desire
Don't give me no shit because

I've been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired
I've been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired

I told the tale of a girl but I call her a woman
She's a little bit older than me
Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk, breasts like a cluster of
grapes
I can't escape her ways she raise me

She make me feel like Solomon
Beware your babies even if you have no one
And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest
fears?
You don't want to sleep after setting my loins on fire
Well, that's okay because

Sit very still,
And relax your mind,
Feel all the tension,
Slowly unwind,
Try to be calm,
And let it all drift away,
Try to be calm,
And do as I say,

Take a breath,
And then let it out,
Take a breath,
And you know what itís all about,
Youíll be just fine.

I was lying, he said,
By a cool lake side,
But it all slipped away,
And thereís no where to hide,
Try to be calm,
Sheís nothing that I want,
Try to be calm,
Some things are easy babe,
But I swear I still bleed,

Take a breath,
And then let it out,
Take a breath,
And you know what itís all about,
Youíll be just fine.

Come away from your place,
Come back to the room,
Open your eyes,
But donít move to soon,
Try to be calm,
And remember how you feel,
Try to be calm,
Some things arenít forever,
But I swear this is real.

Take a breath,
And then let it out,
Take a breath,
And you know what itís all about,
Youíll be just fine.

I am loving you guys for responding. It takes me while to digest the music and how it represents you. I find myself, too, getting lost with the artist's other music as well. Cool. Keep them comming would love to hear you.

Anyone who lives or has lived in middle class suburbia should most definitely be able to relate to this song in one way or another. Beautiful sound, beautiful lyrics, I give you my theme song. Gold Passion by Revolvo.

"Like if you're walking down to your car one day
As your imagination wanders off
And you see yourself just standing there
While people are showing you all kinds of strange directions
And that's when it comes to you
"I'll walk my way thorugh suburbia"
Through the streets of ten thousand kelvins
Empty trash cans and five foot fences

Soul - Like I have one
Control - As if I had some

10:15 PM and I'm crossing the main road
In hope of finding the last person that makes sense to me
I realize that I've been had and walk faster as my frustration grows
Nothing will ever change around here
People pay good money to avoid any change in colour
Everything is black and white
To hell with these shades of gray

I can't believe you need me
I never thought I would be needed for anything
I can't believe my shoulders would carry such important weight
As your head and your tears
I can't believe you chose me, in all my fragility, me
It hurts so much when i love you, it makes me cry
Every time

You, you are, oh you are
The little boy made for me in the stars
In the stars, that's why I can't let you go
The little boy made for me in the stars
That's why I love you more the further I go
And before this existence you were always there
Waiting for me
You are, you are the realest thing I know
Hands down
The realest thing I know

I am not used to being carried
Or being able to carry a pretty song
I have been bruised by my many trails
Sometimes my skin's so thick it's frail
I just need to be ignored 'til I wake up to the beauty that is yours
And it all comes to life so, so suddenly
This is a place so deep, the water's so deep I hesitate, cause
All the energy it takes to feel this power
I tend to run, I tend to hide, 'til I find you and I know I got you
I know, I know, I know

You're the little boy made for me in the stars
In the stars, that's why I can't let you go
The little boy made for me in the stars
That's why I love you more the further I go
And before this existence you were always here
Inside of me
You are, you are the realest thing I know
Hands down...the realest thing I know

I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams
I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams

When you carry me, when you carry me, when you carry me
It's so happy

I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams
I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams

Baby,I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do,the things they say
But baby,I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey

Why worry,there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

Baby,when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way

Why worry,there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

Yesterday came suddenly
Tomorrow will receive
Today now you're at the wheel
I'll ask how does it feel

Yesterday when Heaven's gates
I contemplate, they seem so far,
Today they ain't so far away
And almost seem a drag

Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away

When your halo slips for good,
You'll have to wear your hood
good to feel the breeze of fear
On all the cynics, and ya mimick
All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy

Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away

Remember where you came from
Sisters who told ya on a rainy day
They said that Heaven holds a place
For all of those who prey
And if you don't believe in agony
Then you don't care anyway
Nobody or nothings ever getting in your way

Even as you played along
But don't feel you belong
No one's gonna notice if you never right or wrong
And if you and your next neighbour
Yeah, you don't quite get along
No one's gonna notice if you're singing anyway
Those not coming in for free will learn they gotta pay

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
Its not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me
Cos Id already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldnt make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now Ive tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close dont ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me
Cos Id already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldnt make things new
Just by saying I love you

When I was in high school Paula Cole was super popular and I listened to this song of hers over and over and over. It resonated with me the first time I heard it, and I still haven't found a song that more closely sums of how I feel and who I am. It's called "Me". I found this version by Katherine McPhee that I just love.

Me
I am not the person who is singing
I am the silent one inside
I am not the one who laughs at peoples jokes
I just pacify their egos
I am not my house or my car or my songs
They are only just stops along my way
I am like winter
Im a dark cold female
With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave

Chorus:
And it is me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence

I am carrying my voice
I am carrying my heart
I am carrying my rhythm
I am carrying my prayers
But you cant kill my spirit
Its soaring and its strong
Like a mountain
I go on and on
But when my wings are folded
The brightly colored moth
Blends into the dirt into the ground

Chorus

And its me whos too weak
And its me whos too shy
To ask for the thing I love
And its me whos too weak
And its me whos too shy
To ask for the thing I love
That I love (6 times)

I am walking on the bridge
I am over the water
And I'm scared as hell
But I know there's something better
Yes I know there's something
Yes I know, I know, yes I know

That I love

But its me
And its me
But its me

PS- Excellent thread!!

I don't know if this really represents me, but I sorta use it as my motto.

Dashboard - Modest Mouse

Well it would have been, could have been, worse than you would ever know.
Oh the dashboard melted but we still have the radio.
Oh should have been, could have been, worse than you would ever know.
Well you told me about nowhere well it sounds like some place Iíd like to go.
Oh it could have been, should have been, worse than you would ever know.
Well the wind shield was broken but I love the fresh air you know (the dashboard melted but we still have the radio).
Well it would have been, could have been, worse than you would ever know (the dashboard melted but we still have the radio).
Well we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted to know-ow-ow-ow-ow.

Now here we go!

Oh would have been could have been worse then it had even gone.
Well the car was on blocks but I was already where I want (it was impossible we really couldn't we really couldn't)
Oh Should have we ever even after everything get to tomorrow (it was impossible we really couldn't we really couldn't)
Oh cause the world don't like us itíll shake us just like we were co-o-o-o-ld

Now here we go!

Well we schemed and schemed but we always blow it we've yet to crash but we still matters where we do it standing out like Swiss cheese switch east and west from right every thought was your surprise in the evening was condolences.

So it wasn't quite as bad as, well it would have could have been worse then you would ever know.
I was patiently erasing but recording your own emphasis after you proved my point wrong it wasn't like Iíd let it go.
I just want to catch the last laugh of this show.
Yea, it would have been could have been worse then you would ever know.
Oh the dashboard melted but we still had the radio (the dashboard melted but we really couldn't really couldn't)
Hardwired to conceive so much we had to stow it even except these times johns with bonny at johns.
Donít wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of the show (the dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Well we could have should have been worse then you would ever know (the dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Well you told me about no one but instead about someplace Iíd like to go.

Now here we go!

Well we schemed and schemed but we always blow it we've yet to crash the place but we still matters where we do it standing out like Swiss cheese switch east and west from right every thought was your surprise in the evening was condolences.

So it wasn't quite as bad as,
Would have been could have been worse then you would ever know.

Her hair is Harlowe gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo stand off sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you, when she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please ya
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes
